Even though there was some good information in the book, deciphering it from the very confusing wording was not worth it. The book was terribly written and for it being a book on reading and literacy you would think they would have written it in an easier-to-read manner! Poorly written and very complicated. Not worth it.

I did not learn anything really valuable about teaching literacy from this book.

The person who wrote this extremely long, convoluted textbook, with its overly complicated explanations that drone on well past my bedtime, obviously had no regard for the mind of a wandering attention span. And if I were a tree that went into the making of it, I'd be pissed.

Love this book but the technology links and recommendations should be updated & more rigorous in my opinion.

Textbook. I actually read an entire textbook.

Dense text but excellent strategies for content and LA teachers alike.

It was a textbook...but it was better than a lot of textbooks.
